2011 S550 W221 Build Thread
 

Hello fellow MB World members! Here is a 2011 Mercedes S550 W221 that I will be working on! The car is completely bone stock, and as far as modifications, we are looking to lower the car, get some new wheels and change up the original caliper color, as well as add small additional touches to the car!

Going to start off with a 2- Stage paint correction with 2 layers of Feynlab Ceramic Coating on top to protect the paint with an additional layer of gloss!

Took the calipers off and now we're prepping for paint to a metallic bronze!

Now to protect this front end, we are applying XPEL Clear Bra to the entire front end: (Front Bumper, Headlights, Fog Lights, Hood, Fenders, and Side Mirror Caps)

Up next, to clear the wheel gap, we decided to go with a set of lowering links from GHOST MOTORSPORT!

Here is the final product! This S550 is ready to hit the streets! We outfitted the car with some Vossen CV10's wrapped in some Pirelli P-Zeros, installed lowering links from GHOST MOTORSPORTS, painted the grille gloss black, painted the calipers in Tasonic, and performed a 2-stage paint correction with ceramic coating over the full front end clear bra from XPEL! We are really happy with the results and look forward to adding some more small touches in the future!
